Subject: IETF62 Wireless Network Update
Gentlepeople,
We just wanted to give everyone an update on the state of the
wireless network here at the Hilton. As most people noticed, we had
severe problems involving APs going away starting right around 9am
when the first meetings began. We identified and worked around the
problem and the APs have been up and reasonably solid since
mid-morning.
However, despite the APs staying up, we continued to see problems,
particularly on the 3rd floor. Common symptoms were:
- Long delays before receiving DHCP responses
- Long first hop round trip times
- Loss on the first hop (in the wireless domain)
- Receiving a DHCP address, but still not having the ability to
contact the default router
Moving forward, we've made several configuration changes which
should help matters, and we believe that most of the problems have
been resolved. Please (gently) let us know if you're still seeing
major problems. The 2.4G band (802.11b/g) is still pretty congested
and has some inherent issues in a situation like IETF meetings, so
if you have the option to use 802.11a, we'd suggest you do so.
As always, any trouble reports or questions can be directed at
ietf-62(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org(_dot_)
Again, our apologies for the frustration and annoyance this is
causing. Believe us, we want to get this to work just as much, if
not more, than you all do!
- Jim
